Foster's Market has a charming cottage café vibe. Head over for breakfast or lunch and enjoy a salad, soup, sandwich or one of their many baked goods (perhaps a slice of their indulgent peanut butter pie) on the patio or lawn. On your way out, stop to peruse their selection of local gifts, including jams, coffee, toffee, cheese straws, grits and candy, along with cookbooks and kitchenware.

The place was heaving with people when we came in Saturday for late breakfast/brunch, but the ordering situation (at the counter with lots of folks taking orders) made things move along super-quickly. We had my brother and sister-in-law's dog with us and sat outside, where "all animals are welcome." (Hank is kind of an anxious fellow but after a little medication and a treat he settled pretty well -- we were in the section to the right of the front door, down a few steps, which was unoccupied except by us for the majority of our visit.)
I ordered the omelette with corn, asparagus, and I don't know what else, but it was massive and SOOOOO good! Wish I had paid attention to the sauce but it made the dish. Came with home fries that were also delicious. SIL had avocado toast, brother had chilaquiles, and both of their plates were spotless when they finished (WITHOUT help from Hank 😉), and we all enjoyed our coffees, one brewed and two fancy.
The staff was amazing and friendly, the lines moved quickly, and the atmosphere was fun and congenial. Will definitely be back and bringing more visitors!

Stop by here!
This place is definitely worth a stop in. The food was absolutely amazing! We had the biscuit sandwich with bacon, salmon bagel, and avocado toast and we wanted to try several other’s.
The homemade biscuits are so delicious, and the salmon bagel was loaded with fresh ingredients. The avocado toast is simply sourdough with sliced avocado.
The atmosphere is cute, with that grandmas kitchen type of feel with trinkets, goodies, homemade snack foods, and a little seating area inside and out.
We were so glad we stopped in and will definitely return when we’re in the area.

We called in a pick up order, and got to walk around a bit while we waited. It was crowded, but well worth it! We got a biscuit and it was delicious!! It seems like they have a good system to handle how popular they are. Can’t wait to go back!

Foster’s is my dad’s and my go-to spot! My favorite dish is the avocado toast with fried eggs—it’s amazing, especially the bread they use. The atmosphere is cozy, with plenty of seating and parking. Great spot to bring kids too!

I’ve never made a bad choice at Fosters. The food is excellent every time. Today I had the Cubano (hold the pickles). I opted for an iced dirty chai oat milk latte to drink although, the DO have diet Dr Pepper here which is ALWAYS a win for me. The parking situation at busy times can be a challenge but the food is worth the fight.

Hands down my favorite place to eat in Durham. The ambiance, the people and the food can’t be beat! Years later I rediscovered it’s still rocking the same quality as so many years ago when I used to come. A true treasure. FIVE STARS!!!!!

My son and I enjoyed a wonderful lunch here on Saturday. Our sandwiches were delicious, but what really impressed me was the service. The staff went out of their way to make us "first timers" feel welcome! Highly recommend.
Visit soon. You won't be disappointed.

Would recommend the weekly/specialty omelet. All the cakes are yummy but the tres leches strawberry cake is amazing. Their lattes are also very good.

Nice cozy place that serves breakfast and lunch. We were in Durham area and looking for a nice local place to support.
Foster’s Market definitely matched what we were looking to find.
We both ordered sandwiches that were fantastic. Nice size and well made. I ordered the Jammin Turkey Breast Sandwich (very yummy) with just the right amount of spice from the pepper jelly. My wife ordered the Roasted Turkey Breast sandwich, which she really enjoyed.
Very nice place to visit with friendly people and plenty of seating both indoor and outdoor. If in the area you need to visit.
